[android-developers] Re: Can't write to sdcard

Still getting the same error. I followed your advice with:

File sdDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
sdDir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(sdDir +currentTripName+".kml");
FileWriter sdWriter = new FileWriter(file, false);
sdWriter.write(fileContents);
sdWriter.close();

also, the manifest includes:
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
which i have placed outside of the application tags.
